BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE NATURAL FIBER STRUCTURE, LEATHER CAN STRETCH IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
Man-made textiles, like vinyl, have a more “stacked” fiber structure and therefore can only stretch in one direction, leading to sagging. Townsend Leather can work with you to understand your design intent and the final application for leather and we can produce the leather to meet your exact specifications. We work closely with designers and customers to make sure the leather we make for you is the perfect fit for its intended final form and use.

NOTHING SMELLS LIKE LEATHER.
There are air fresheners that are made just to recreate the smell of leather… but no imitation compares to the scent of genuine leather. It is inimitable, evokes memories and positive feelings, and connects us to nature. No other textile is known for its own distinctive scent or can provide the same experience for the senses that leather can.
Arguably, one of the most popular reasons to LOVE leather, the smell. It is the thing most visitors say first when they walk into Townsend Leather. It is unmistakable, un-copy-able, and unbelievable. Smell is said to be the sense that can provoke the most powerful memories, and it is leather provoking those memories, they are always good ones!

LEATHER IS FLEXIBLE AND STRETCHABLE, BUT HOLDS ITS SHAPE.
Over time, leather will contour perfectly to the shape of is upholstery or other application. Leather is a natural product that has been expertly processed to withstand the test of time and in most cases, with minimal care, will maintain its beauty, or even become more beautiful over time. With use and over years of use, most leathers will patina, absorbing natural oils, developing a sheen, or showing a naturally-earned distressed quality. This property is unique to leather and is usually regarded as adding to the value and beauty of leather over time, making it more unique and special as it shows the love it has been given throughout the years.
